It will also present the ERC-Portugal programme, launched by FCT as a national initiative to strengthen Portugal\u2019s participation in the ERC. The programme offers targeted support to researchers at different career stages and is structured around three complementary pillars:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"text-align: justify; margin-bottom: 5px;\">ERC-PT Pre-Assessment \u2013 an innovative initiative that offers peer-review services through an Annual College of Reviewers composed exclusively of former ERC panel members, aiming to improve the quality and success rate of ERC proposals;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify; margin-bottom: 5px;\">ERC-PT A-Projects \u2013 a scheme that funds the early development of top-rated but unfunded proposals, helping prepare for future ERC resubmissions;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify; margin-bottom: 5px;\">ERC-PT Careers \u2013 a programme that promotes the recruitment and long-term integration of ERC grantees in Portuguese institutions, through attract-and-retain mechanisms.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Together, these mechanisms create a coherent national strategy that enhances researcher competitiveness, reinforces institutional capacity, and aligns with broader goals for research excellence and talent attraction. The session will explore synergies between European and national instruments and offer practical guidance for navigating the ERC landscape.<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse;\" cellpadding=\"10 px\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8145\" src=\"https:\/\/fe.up.pt\/dce\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/bruno-beu.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"214\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fe.up.pt\/dce\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/bruno-beu-200x187.jpg 200w, https:\/\/fe.up.pt\/dce\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/bruno-beu-400x374.jpg 400w, https:\/\/fe.up.pt\/dce\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/bruno-beu.jpg 468w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 214px) 100vw, 214px\" \/><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7810 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/fe.up.pt\/dce\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/rui_munha.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"161\" height=\"197\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center; line-height: 0.1;\"><strong>Bruno B\u00e9u<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; line-height: 0.1;\"><em>Advisor to FCT\u2019s Board of Directors, FCT<\/em><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center; line-height: 0.1;\"><strong>Rui Munh\u00e1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; line-height: 0.1;\"><em>Science Officer, FCT<\/em><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%; vertical-align: top;\">\n<p><strong>Biography <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Bruno B\u00e9u holds a PhD in Philosophy from the University of Lisbon.
